And why were these distro's (and their users) making the decision that they didn't want to use official Chrome, but would still use Google sync.

And even if it made sense for the users, Google made Chrome open source and this has spawned many great (and some awful) projects and allowed even Google haters to use it, but this shouldn't mean they are also forced to provide related services.
There is just one key insight: it’s gambling. It’s like buying a lottery ticket or betting that the outsider team will win the league.

With that mindset you are pretty safe. You don’t “invest” in lottery tickets. It’s entertainment with money you can afford to lose.

I hope that’s the case for each and every person who bought this stock.
First of all, nobody is forcing anybody. Those manufactures that want to use a standard are free to use one.

This is intact what happened, the waste majority is standardized and that mostly without regulation.

Market forces are driving standardization. Tesla however is special because they have in incredibly dominate position in the market and they don't have to relay on 3rd parties creating charging stations.

They can offer their costumers a premium experience and support their own growth. Eventually once charging is more universally available Tesla can simply expand to allow others to charge there and make a lot of money.

Tesla has invested huge amount of money and this is their reward. Not sure why regulation needs to come in and force everybody to do things. Specially when early on a lot of things were not very clear. Also, government regulation defined API standards for payments are usually terrible.
"You have to subscribe to something batteries-included, like Meteor, or otherwise implement the solutions yourself from bits and pieces."

...yes; that is, in fact, the conceptual dichotomy in solutions to essentially-complex problems. Either someone else solves them for you, or you have to solve them yourself.

I mean, yes, there is a part of the solution-space in-between these two extremes — a point where there's a batteries-included thing that someone else built but then gives away for free, perhaps as an open-source project you just have to run on your own infra. So it's mostly solved for you, and then you just do a little bit to "get the solution running" for your use-case. That point in solution-space is conspicuously absent for web data sync.

But, in domains with essential complexity, that middle-ground part of the solution-space is usually conspicuously absent. Because it takes continuous dedicated effort (i.e. labor; capital expenditure) to solve the complex problem in a cleanly-abstracted way. And it's very rare that anyone's going to go to the effort, unless they expect a return on their labor investment (by e.g. keeping the solution proprietary, and building a SaaS business around it.)
Those are gypsy and you can find the same exact type of camps/villages in Western Europe, no need to go to Eastern Europe.

Their condition doesn't really depend on the poverty level of the country they live in, but other factors such as cultural and integration issues, not always caused by them.

In short, not a really good example of poverty.
Yeah, we originally thought GPT could accept a large domain specific training set (e.g. feed in the SQL schema for a user), but it's not there yet. A PM at OpenAI said it shouldn't be long off though. When that's possible, the SQL generated should be much better than Google.

Actually, throughout history (at least 500 years in the UK, since the end of the guild system) people have paid what was essentially a premium in order to access medical care at the point of need - effectively insurance, if not always named as such.

Most of these organisations were mutuals, eg, member owned, and would have pre-existing relationships with doctors etc that would control costs.

In this way, there were no perverse incentives - people had "insurance", and they wanted that money to cover as many eventualities as possible. The bigger the pot of money, the more resilient the community.

So actually, health insurance has a long legacy. The problem, I would suggest, is shareholders who are not the principal beneficiaries of the service.

FWIW, in the UK we found that a system of mutuals and municipally owned hospitals was sufficiently imperfect that we created the NHS anyway. Probably best to skip to single-payer in the US, imo.
I'm also pretty cynical about this. It will only work if it fundamentally changes the pharmaceuticals industry

If someone self-studies basic things, it shouldn't be a big problem. Just look at first aid. There are many people who have no idea what to do for minor injuries because they never took the time to learn. Suturing is on the borderline of of falling into first aid. There are people today who learn the basics of it for emergencies or because they live in remote locations.
There's an excellent book (well it had bad reviews, actually, because it was perhaps overly detailed and tedious, but I enjoyed it) about the Gemini project called On The Shoulders of Titans. Reading through the notes of how NASA interacted with contractors was terrifying: here's some money to study something. Turns out it was very subtly different from what NASA had intended them to study. Here's more money to do another study. Now here's money to build a prototype. Oh you're 90% done and out of money? Here's twice as much money. Oh now you're 99% done and out of money? He's the same amount again. Oh it doesn't work but you can argue it's NASA's fault? Here's more money to start over. You're done? Actually we're gonna scrap this particular mission objective now.

Space X owns something much close to an end-to-end objective: it's not a study, or a build, it's getting the thing to orbit, end of story. I think if you could set up the situation so that a company owns the end-to-end story of your health, things might be better off. That sounds more like Kaiser Permanente and my impression is that's exactly what happened. In reality our healthcare system is typically more like Gemini: contractors, tons of regulations, but none of them really own the end result so it's a public/private mix of bureaucratic mess, misaligned incentives, and buck-passing.
Just knowing the basics and then diving into tinkering risks wasting a lot of your time making mistakes that other people have already made and learned from.

Quite damning, and that's only the most blatant infractions, because it's such a high bar to prove collusion and price fixing. The most disingenuous tactics to prevent competition that are harder to prove in court continue to cause harm to the average consumer nevertheless.

You're right that the back-end of any healthcare system is complex, but a government-funded single-payer system is simpler for the end user (every citizen), that was my point.
Yes, I am rooting for sr.ht which looks like github would have looked if I had built it.
German healthcare has private providers and insurance and so on. It just has sensible regulation to go with it.

There are subsidies and everyone is required to pay into the system, but the administration is privately run.
Free speech has nothing to do with it. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The Dark Forest is my favorite answer to the Fermi Paradox
A free market involves a customer that has the option to simply not buy what is on offer. Healthcare can never be a free market in this sense, because the customer is faced with a choice of "buy service and/or product" or "be dead".

That is entirely unlike the choice involved in buying something like a refrigerator and seriously skews the applicability of traditional free market thinking to the problem.
W.r.t. standard dictionaries, it's something we're interested in, but the fundamental reality of dictionaries is that their effectiveness is strongly tied to their specificity. Put another way, a universal dictionary is a self-contradiction.

Powershell can be pretty expressive.

It has a lot in common with Python, but the syntax is more C like when you're scripting, but can be used like a standard shell as well.

The learning curve is partially steep as it takes time to learn the advantages and complexity of piping objects around instead of text streams (like Linux does).

The major deal breaker for me is that file reads and writes which are glacially slow. Like waayyy slower than Python if you can believe it even if you basically call the .NET libraries directly instead of the cmdlets.

So it makes the most sense for Windows IT admin tasks.
Pure point-set topology is as "dead" as group theory.

That is to say it's an essential part of the foundations of theoretical mathematics (you can't understand algebraic topology without understanding point-set topology), but there is not much new innovation purely within point-set topology itself.

So I find "dead as a dodo" too strong of a metaphor.
Amazon usually waits until it can clone the operations before it dives into a new territory. Even though they would be set up for it quite easily as you say, they’re approach in the past has been more EEE...or more politely adopt and optimize.
I'll take a crack at a possible meaning.

Imagine you have a product with 10 features. You want to generate growth. Your first instinct might be: time to add a new feature (upgrade the product). Another approach might be to investigate your users behaviour. You might find users are only using 5 of your features. You may then choose to educate your users on the other 5 features you already have (upgrade your user).

This is one of the purposes of marketing. You would be surprised how often a customer will say "I didn't even know I could do that".
How do you feel you know this?

I don't know the man either way, and you may be spot on, but outside folks whose work is largely charitable and etc, how does anyone feel they know these things?
I believe there was a point when Shark Tank would take some amount of equity from every business that came on the show regardless of if one of the sharks invested or not. Cuban called BS and said he wouldn't be on the show if that was the case. The policy was removed as a result.

Smart move too, since you will probably get better companies on the show without that sort of policy.

> "Doing that MOOC/Masters gives me a certificate that helps my resume."

I have to mirror an observation I've read on here that matches my retrospective view: Job applicants with multiple online course certificates tend to do poorly in technical interviews.

<tangent>

This may in part be a failing of our education systems. "Be taught about something -> write test -> pass/no pass" is usually all there is, and this system of how knowledge is valued becomes ingrained in students. Sure, tests usually contain sections of "applying" the knowledge, but ultimately it's still studying to and because of the test.

If you're lucky enough to be both versed in a subject and visit a school that provides extra-curricular engagement on these subjects, you may get a glimpse of what it feels like to solve a challenge because you want to. Otherwise you have do that completely separately from whatever formal education you receive.

It has personally taken me many years and several key experiences outside of school to fully grok that presentations aren't just condensing a topic you don't care about into a scheme somebody else dictates, held in front of an audience that would rather be elsewhere. Or that playing music isn't just about getting the notes and their volumes right. But now I deeply enjoy both. I would imagine that many are similarly stuck with a terrible mindset regarding learning or problem solving due to the way they were educated, even if they would find it exhilarating with the right frame of mind.

</tangent>

So yeah, show off your self-directed projects in your resume. Thrill your interviewers with the cool problems you tackled. Mention key challenges you overcame.

Without exaggerating too much, I would say online course certificates are as indicative of your technical abilities as a screenshot of a completed Tensorflow download. And that extends to the message you send if you include them in your application.

Yes. I can confirm this is exactly what happened (roommate almost went on the show, pre-Cuban. though I'm sure theres a lot more to the story that insiders would know).
Except...it's not obvious that the root cause of the US's current healthcare disaster is "privatization". I work in the industry, and by far the #1 most jarring misconceptions I see floating around forums like this is conflating of "privatized" with "employer sponsored because of decades of tax incentives and mandates". The US is not the only country that has a public-private mix of healthcare, but it is pretty much the only developed country where private health insurance is predominately received through employers rather than on the individual market.

If you want a true apples-to-apples cost of public vs private healthcare, you should look at Medicare Advantage vs Original Medicare. When you turn 65, you have the option to enroll either in "Original Medicare", which is what we usually think of when we talk about "single payer healthcare in America", or you can enroll in Medicare Advantage (aka Medicare "Part C"), where the premiums that would go to the CMS instead go to private insurers like Humana, United, Oscar Health, Aetna, Clover, etc. These plans replace Original Medicare, also cover Part D prescription drug benefits, and often include supplemental benefits that Original Medicare doesn't already cover. There are some interesting findings so far:

- 39% of Medicare beneficiaries are on private Medicare Advantage plans instead of the public "Original Medicare". Because everyone is entitled to "Original Medicare", this is purely voluntary. This number has been growing so rapidly, that we expect by 2025, more seniors to be on a private plan than the public one. There's also great variance by State. In Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Alabama, Hawaii, and Connecticut — nearly 50% of beneficiaries are on Medicare Advantage. By 2022, we expect more seniors in those States to be on a private plan than a public one. https://www.kff.org/medicare/issue-brief/a-dozen-facts-about...

- For most beneficiaries, Medicare Advantage costs about 39% less than Original Medicare. https://healthpayerintelligence.com/news/medicare-advantage-...

- Medicare Advantage plans are, on average, of higher quality than the public Original Medicare. https://healthpayerintelligence.com/news/medicare-advantage-...

- In Urban areas, Medicare Advantage costs less per capita to administer than Medicare — and that's not including the extra Medicare Part D insurance that you would have to buy if you're on the Original Medicare plan. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2...
Delphi scene is still quite active in Germany, enough to keep getting articles on the Windows and .NET developer related magazines, and a yearly conference.

I am a Czech, I know gypsies well, I had several classmates from all sorts of gypsy families - from very well integrated to the ghetto standard.

I would argue that multigenerational poverty in contemporary West has always something to do with cultural and integration issues. Plenty of refugees who came with a small bags of personal items have built middle class lives in a generation, even though they were foreign, did not know the language and faced crude racism from primitives.
The tweet is an example of what seems to be the right's favorite method of argument of late:

Specialization of labour is what's primarily responsible for the industrial revolution - while this is a hyperbolic comparison, is the only reasonable way to fix healthcare to throw away all specialization and go back to "do it at home"?
